It is formed in a medieval fashion with small foot growing in stages to a round wide shoulder, which then pinches to a small neck with pinched mouth. The coloration is fabulous, with rich greens fading to olive to crusty black on the blast side, while the natural clay dusted with flying ash shows off the quintessential shiseki and tombo-no-me for which Shigaraki is known. It is 29 cm (11-1\/2 inches) diameter, 35.5 cm (14 inches) tall and in excellent condition, directly from the artist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to size the cost of shiooing will be accrued separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurutani Taketoshi was born the son of master craftsman Furutani Hirofumi in 1974, graduating the Shigaraki Industrial High School Ceramics department in 1992 before entering the Shiga prefectural Ceramics Research Facility studying wheel technique, graduating the following year. He then did a year apprenticeship at a pottery before re-entering for a second course at the Research Facility, graduating in 1995. From that year he returned to the family kiln, receiving the family tradition from both his grandfather Furutani Churoku and father Furutani Hirofumi. Subverting the self, he makes simple, organic pots which have a timeless quality, very much rooted in the now, but paying homage to the traditions passed down through the ages. He was named a Designated Traditional Craftsman (Dento Kogeishi) in 2013. He has exhibited with the Nihon Dento Kogeiten among others, and still works closely with his father at the family kiln.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Furutani Taketoshi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50967904813303,"sku":"MC105","price":337100.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/7472\/3063\/files\/2026-07-1316.33.06.jpg?v=1784876880","url":"https:\/\/kuramonzen.com\/products\/teketoshi-shigaraki-tsubo-%e3%83%bc%e5%8f%a4%e8%b0%b7-%e5%89%9b%e6%95%8f-%e4%bf%a1%e6%a5%bd-%e8%87%aa%e7%84%b6%e9%87%89-%e5%a3%b7","provider":"Kura Monzen Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
